*On the basis of the data given by NSTDA and the partner countries
In Thailand the co-operation with European partner countries is of medium intensity, the main reason for starting intergovernmental bilateral S&T co-operation with these countries is the possibility of networking and mobility of researchers. The main impacts of international S&T co-operation in general are the better access to international S&T knowledge, the technology transfer, the increased international exchange of the research personnel, the enlargement of the collaboration network and the increase of knowledge of bilateral and multilateral research instruments.
The main problems of the S&T collaboration with Europe are the administrative difficulties. The main expectation of the scientific co-operation with European countries is the increase of the exchange of researchers and the increased number of international S&T conferences. The main problem is the lack of the follow-up.
